Val,
This is my 2 cents.... My question was has anyone since the start of the study gotten brain mets that by passed the body and went straight to the brain? The gal I asked knew of one person. It was 2 years out of dx. with no symptoms. (if I remember riight) I have been fortunate to have been under the care of a nuerologist for headaches and restless leg for 8 years so when this popped up it was her idea to do MRI's every 6 months. On St. Paddy's day it will be my last 6 month check up and we will go to once a year. (NED 2.5 yrs) I feel with the studies that are coming out that I have a pretty good chance of this not coming back. But I will stay vigilant and I know my doc, will run the test if we think something is wrong. It has given me peace of mind. I also was a stage II (I think). Good Luck with your research and I plan on taking that study that was posted in to my neurologist that says how herceptin can keep it al bay longer....
